"अहिंसा परमो धर्मः धर्म हिंसा तथैव च: l"

I think good days in J&K will start when all our Indian laws will apply there, unlike today when most of the laws are not applicable in J&K. When shouting Paki... Zinda... will be a crime under IPC sections and not RPC. Only then we'll have chances to reverse J&K problem...

Sir, they are indeed ours - Kashmiris have been a part of this civilisation for 5,000 years. Never mind the past 500.

Cultural memory is long, and it resides in the DNA. We must not give up on them, from Afghanistan to Bangladesh, there's the deep Indic root that is fighting to wake up, and you can already see it happening because of India's revival.

The photograph got her "noticed" as the "Kashmiri footballer forced to vent her ire by pelting stones". Meetings with J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti followed, who decided to do her bit to promote both Afshan and women's football in J&K.

Afshan is now captain and goalkeeper of the J&K women's football team that is getting exposure at the national level and competing in the Indian Women's League. The 23-year-old also plays for a Mumbai club and has even inspired a Bollywood biopic on her life.

On Tuesday, Afshan along with her 22-member football team, coach Satpal Singh Kala and manager Tsering Angmo called on Union home minister Rajnath Singh. Afshan told TOI that she sought the home minister's intervention to start a Sports Authority of India (SAI) Institute in Kashmir to nourish and train young girls to play football.

"I was impressed by how patiently a Union minister heard the issues raised by us. We sought better sports infrastructure in J&K. The home minister called up J&K CM in front of us and told her to meet us when we get back to Srinagar," Afshan told TOI.

Mehbooba, she said, was already supporting them in a big way and had instructed the sports secretary to take care of the requirements of the women's football team. The state administration has since provided us all our sports equipment, helping us put together a team within this year.

"While I have joined a Mumbai football club to pursue my dream to be a national-level player, it is my honour to also captain the J&K women's football team," said Afshan.

The team amply reflects the regional diversity of J&K. While the manager is a Ladakhi, the coach is a Sikh. The team members too hail from all three regions of the state.

Asked if she regretted the stone-pelting incident+, Afshan said it was a one-off reaction triggered by her "anger" at the abusive language used by a J&K cop as well as the alleged "slapping" of a team member she was escorting to the football ground at the time. "I don't regret anything. I would not have picked up a stone had it not been for the misbehaviour of the police," she insisted.

"But now I have a reputation and image to maintain. I want to focus on football and make my state and nation proud," she added.

Thanks for your concern brother but I am not even pinch of frustrated.

I wish you read Cunningham's clinical methods and S Das a manual on Clinical Surgery.

If I can quote S Das Correct " Where ever there is pus, express it out". The old method still relevant today is to embolden/Isolate the pus and then nick it out.

The clinical methods gives you plenty of strategies to make a diagnosis. The strategy I have mentioned I never let it come out but know it from very start. I know its a radical Idea but I can explain in good detail in future.

This will make backlash from the world at large almost zero. And that is the only piece of puzzle we have been struggling to fit in an appropriate place for 3 decades, I mean the backlash.

Its a very long process. Its may take another 500 years to undo the damage given we remain prosperous and stable for the same period of time. The variables are too many and projections are to vague.

The best method is to teach them a lesson of life time take revenge and then give them a chance to correct themselves. Then profile them for many generations to come with a strategy of Punch Punch Talk Talk.
